You think you want a new base-building RTS game but you don't

Anymore news on that rerelease that puts all the campaigns into one game?

Even if one managed to untangle the clusterfuck of potential licensing issues just to acquire the 40k license to make another 40k RTS, you would be stuck with GW dictating that you use all the new Primaris shit which people don't want. You would also have to fight tooth and nail for any real customisation options as well, and what you do end up being allowed would be severely limited compared to what you could have done otherwise. One would be unable to escape mandated inclusion of women and minorities as well. But ultimately the biggest hurdle is that traditional RTS is no longer a big draw genre. And you would be competing against the old DoWs still existing. I'm not saying I don't want more DoW, I am just saying it is no surprise at all that it isn't getting made in the current year.

DoW and expansions still worth playing or wait for the remaster?

They are still fun. Your main issue is going to be resolution/UI problems. Though patches usually exist for a lot of the modern issues you might run into I believe.

Since the announcement I've put in 150 hours in the Unification mod. Each race has a little quirk that keeps it engaging for me. The mod does have a gayass anime race, which you can disable by googling, and creator OCs I don't give a shit about, but the new races are fun to play. The game does show it's age though with it's poor AI and pathfinding.

The weirder thing, why no Total War games? You would think they would make all kinds of 40k shit out of that, but instead all they do is wh fantasy. Not complaining, not interested in fantasy either. Just think it's strange.

God imagine if Relic actually pulled their shit together and made 4 properly

It'd never happen, but the dream is there.

There are a number of reasons. But prime among them is the CA is technologically bankrupt and so long overdue for a proper new engine it isn't funny. The current TW engine can barely handle ranged attacks as it is and couldn't approach the sort of options or intensity that a 40k would require. I'm sure CA want to do it, but whether they can convince Sega and GW to let them, and whether they can pull it off without it being an abomination is a different question.

>>714941862
Because Total War gameplay doesn't fit 40k. It's just units in blocks moving together, it wouldn't work with 40k style warfare, it can work with Fantasy, sike that's very similar, it can even work with 19th century Napoleonic warfare, but beyond that it starts to break. You COULD make a Total War 40k game, but it would be so different it would have very little, if anything at all, in common with other Total War games.
